This searing docudrama from actual transcripts of the hearings reveals how decent people were persuaded to name names - and the steep price paid by those who refused.

Excellent production

One of the best recordings of a play I have listened to and I have listened to many of them. So moving and all actual dialogue. Bravo👏👏

loved it. so powerful

Especially James Earl Jones as Paul Robeson. I am familiar with the essence of this story and its aftermath. but this is a particularly good version
